The story and game play for MARCH OF THE PENGUINS is described in Chapters. Each Chapter relays a particular part of the penguin's perilous journey and is comprised of numerous multi-screen scrolling game-play levels.

Chapter 6 ­ Return from the Sea Focus on helping the female penguins travel back to their mates and their newborn chicks, while facing the continuing bitter Antarctic winter.

Chapter 7 ­ Finding the Family In this Chapter, help the female penguin find her mate and newborn chick by belly sliding across the ice from snow bank to snow bank. Chapter 5 ­ Braving the Elements In this Chapter, help the male penguin balance the egg through the maze of penguins in search for the warmest spot in the breeding colony.

In the final chapter of the story, help the newborn chicks successfully return to the sea. As the Antarctic summer approaches, the ice floes begin to crack and create hazardous conditions for the penguins family. THE GAME TOOLS Chapter 10 ­ Return to the Family Help the male penguins travel back to their mates and their newborn chicks, while facing the shifting ice floes caused by the warmth of the oncoming Antarctic spring. As a "conservationist-in-training", you will be able to use a variety of Game Tools to help the emperor penguins on their quest. These Game Tools include: Snowball This item is used to help the penguins have a soft landing when falling a short distance. Hot Coal This item is used to melt icicles that block the penguin's way. Fish This item is used to attract penguins to wherever the fish is held. Tent This item is used as a trampoline to help the penguins reach higher locations. Chapter 11 ­ The Grand Reunion In this timed Chapter, help the male penguins find their mate and newborn chick by belly sliding across the ice from snow bank to snow bank. 10 11 Ice Slide This item is used to help penguins belly slide to areas below them. Ice Ramp This item is used to propel penguins through the air across wide chasms in the ice. Ice Bridge This item is used to help the penguins across short gaps in the ice. Ice Steps This item is used to help the penguins walk from one ice level to another. Snowflakes You must collect a certain number to get through each level. THE ICE FIELDS You can help the penguins along their journey to create new life in the frozen ice fields of Antarctica by placing Game Tools in their path. First, while the penguins are moving, press the Control Pad Left and Right to scroll the screen to view what is ahead of the colony. You may press the L and R Buttons to scroll the screen at a faster rate. Then, using the stylus, select the Game Tool in the Game Tool Bar at the bottom of the Touch Screen that you wish to place down. THE BINOCULAR VIEW While the penguins move along the frozen ice field, you can use the Binocular View on the Top Screen to look a screen ahead to see what obstacles you will need to help the penguins overcome. You may press the L and R Buttons to scroll the screen left and right. While holding down the stylus, drag the Game Tool up into the game play area where you would like to place it down and remove stylus from the Touch Screen. Game Tools can only be placed in specific locations on the game play area. If a Game Tool cannot be placed, the following image will appear over the Game Tool: Simply continue to move the Game Tool until the image disappears or release the stylus from the Touch Screen and the Game Tool will automatically return to the bottom Game Tool Bar. 12 13 After the first penguin has reached the end of the Chapter, you may make the remaining penguins move faster through the Ice Field by pressing and holding down the B Button. Releasing the B Button will once again cause the penguins to return to their normal walking speed. Note: During their accelerated speed, the penguins may not be able to slide on the ice as they would when walking at their normal rate of speed. THE ANTARCTIC WATERS It is in the freezing waters of the Antarctic that the emperor penguin must feed. Penguins can dive to depths of over 1700 feet while holding their breath for up to 15 minutes or more. To help the penguins feed, you can maneuver them using the Control Pad and keep them safe in the water by using the A Button to execute a spin maneuver. The spin maneuver will accelerate their movement through the water for a brief moment and will force close aquatic obstacles out of their way safely. On the Top Screen appears two meters. One indicates the amount of time the penguin can remain underwater, while the other indicates the amount of nourishment the penguin has ingested. The Nourishment Meter must be completely filled in order to complete the level. If the penguin collides with a predator without executing the defensive spin maneuver, the penguin will flash for a few moments and lose a small amount of its air supply. When the penguin's air supply is completely gone, the level will restart. THE BREEDING COLONY During their epic adventure, the emperor penguins will have to make multiple trips from the breeding colony back to the sea to feed and return to find their mates and chick. To be able to locate their mate, the penguin must slide across the ice in search of the right path. Press the Control Pad in any direction to make the penguin begin sliding. Once the penguin begins sliding, it will only stop if colliding with a snow bank or falling into a hole in the ice. Slide from snow bank to snow bank to find your mate, while collecting snow flakes along the way. Colliding with a rock or a barrier will cause the moving penguin to turn around and return to the previous snow bank. 14 15 PROTECTING THE EGG While the female penguin is off at sea feeding for the first time in many months weeks, the male penguin must keep watch over the egg by balancing it on the top of its feet and keeping it warm through the frigid Antarctic Winter. This is done by the male penguins taking turns to find at the warmest spot in the colony. Press the Control Pad in any direction to make the penguin begin walking with the egg. Once the penguin begins walking, it will only stop and drop the egg if it collides with a snow bank or another penguin. If the egg is dropped, it must be picked up quickly or it will freeze and the game will end. Simply maneuver the penguin to the egg to pick it up again. To complete the game, find your way through the maze of penguins to the warmest spot, which can be located where the penguins are the most densely packed together. On the Top Screen appears a Thermometer Timer which depicts the temperature of the egg. The Thermometer Timer will continue to drop as the game is played. If the egg is dropped, the Thermometer Timer will drop faster as the egg is now in direct contact with the ice. If you fail to maneuver the male penguin and the egg to the warmest spot before the Thermometer Timer reaches the bottom, the game will end. Collecting snowflakes along the way will add time back to the Thermometer Timer. SAVED GAME The Expedition Log allows you to replay any Chapter that you previously completed.
